This Week: Well, if you haven’t figured it out by now, Kevin and Neil were not offered a lucrative script-writing job for the new Justice League movie. In fact, Neil was fooled by the whole first day of April, so Kevin invited Shannon Hood from FrothyGirlz.com into the Magical Studio in the Sky to talk about the wash of original films opening this spring. They also give a quick recap of the South by Southwest Film Festival before listing a new Fat Guy Five: Five Unlikely Holiday Films, then handing out some DVD and Blu-ray picks.
